Content negotiation is where the browser tells the server what it can  
handle and the server sends something appropriate. Frames in HTML are just  
classified as HTML (via the media type text/html), and there is no way to  
tell the server "I only accept HTML without Frames".

There is much discussion about the appropriateness of the style attribute,  
since it undermines one of the basic premises of stylesheets: the  
separation of content and presentation.
